Cabela’s Pulls Out of Gun Show, For All The Right Reasons

While Dick’s Sporting Goods is busy hiding all the scary black guns they used to sell, and Wal-Mart runs out of ammo, Cabela’s stands there with arms wide open, ready to embrace all the gun owners in a big, manly bear hug.

Due to recent changes made by Reed Exhibitions regarding the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, Cabela’s will no longer sponsor this year’s event. After careful consideration regarding Cabela’s business practices, and the feelings of our customers, Cabela’s will, unfortunately, not have a presence at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

Basically, Cabela’s doesn’t want any part of this war on the Second Amendment.

And the response has been positive. The announcement on their Facebook page has over 2,800 shares, over 2,800 Likes and over 11,000 comments, mainly like these:

Jonathan Campbell What do you need a show for right now anyway? Everyone is buying everything they can. You guys just saved yourselves a ton of money if you ask me. But, that’s just the optimistic, logical business side of me.

Scott Pulvermacher, Outdoor Writer Thank you Cabela’s for your stance! Your customers in Canada sends our appreciation for your decision to stand up for our shooting brothers and sisters. Together we ALL stand!
